Hi Ben,
Debugging your Service - you can use remote debugging to debug the service classes inside Tomcat. It's really easy, just modify the tomcat startup script to listen for remote debugger. You can use the JDB or a free IDE like NetBeans or Eclipse. Both have really nice debuggers.
Also, since you'll be running the Tomcat JVM in the debugger, this solves the 'Tomcat Quirks'
And finaly, Ant is the defacto build tool for Java (http://ant.apache.org) Not that there's something wrong with make, but if you browse through ant's docs you'll find there are already available 'tasks' that could help you to: start/stop tomcat, reload service, generate service stubs, compile and package code and many others
